In this episode Dara explains what test anxiety looks like, why it can make students freeze or second-guess themselves, and how it often affects children with learning differences. She offers four practical strategies—structured, short study sessions; safe practice and verbalization of knowledge; reducing pressure and perfectionism; and pursuing accommodations or modifications—to help students perform their best.
Throughout the episode she encourages parents and educators to support kids with understanding, tools, and confidence, reminding them that test scores do not define a child’s intelligence or value.
